There will be no peace or solutions forthcoming while those who boast of freedom and democracy are intolerant of the views and culture of others living in their land. There can be no peace while... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book demonstrates that the barbaric logic and sick propganda orchestrated by the Israeli war machine is as fradulent as their own legimtacy. The Theft of a Land cannot be disputed by any state, any agenda nor any indocinstration that feeds of lies, greed and a flighty insatiable apetite for conquest. Readers will walk away outraged and demand "Palestine be freed" and Israel be held accountable for their numeorus war crimes and crimes against humanity - it's about time!!!
Shrinidi is correct! A very fine book (albeit w/ some errors on non-related points) that spells out

Mr Baker has update this book, I believe the last time in 1989. Bill is incorrect on the 'holacau$t', but aside from that, most of what he says is very good. Bill however, not being well versed in 'The Conspiracy', as in New World Order, doesn't understand the Powerbrokers, as the late, great Fletcher Prouty used to say and write, UN created 'Israel', to be as the fine jewish American writer Alfred E. Lillien- tahl called it, 'A Thorn in the Middleeast side." Amen! Get US out of the UN now!!!!!!
A thought provoking and well researched book that is quite relevant to resolving conflicts!

"Theft of a Nation" is a book for our time, as we are at the beginning of a new millenium. The focus of this text by a well traveled theologian and biblical archaeologist, William W. Baker, is the Israel - Palestine conflict and the misperceptions and misinterpretations that have come to be accepted as facts surrounding the roots of the turmoil in the Middle East. Baker shows how the holy scriptures have been misused in justifying the terrible crimes against humanity committed against the Palestinians and the complicity by so called "fundamentalist Christians" in giving moral authority to the political entity known as Israel. Baker outlines a step - by - step solution to the settlement of this conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians in which both peoples must recognize mutual national interests and legitimate security concerns. Although written in 1982, this book is prophetic and serves as a guide to the Oslo Peace Agreement of 1992, which was signed between the leadership of the two peoples. I would highly recommend this book to people interested in seeking objective information about the Israel - Palestine conflict from a Western observer not tied to any special interest groups. It was an eye opener to me and made me question many of the "so called facts" that had been presented to me. The book can serve as a guide to conflict resolution in many troubled regions where religious and ethnic animosities have resulted in needless bloodshed, such as the Balkans, South Asia, Northern Ireland, and Sudan.
I can't believe W. Baker had the Guts to Tell the truth

In today's world, where speaking the truth (i.e. European Jews moved to an Asian Land, set up a country displaced the inhabitants into refugee camps) makes you a target, W. Baker seems to be one of the few men that will speak the truth. It's a well written book.... does not whitewash the period between 1902 and 1947 (when magically the Jewish population in Britsh Madate Palestine grew from 6% to 23%.. .still not a majority, but enough , with the appropriate arms, to drive out the simple farmers)
A thought provoking at well researched book!
